Anti Matter - Does it exist on Earth?

Click For Summary
Antimatter does exist on Earth, primarily in small amounts produced through laboratory experiments. It is utilized in medical diagnostics, particularly in PET scans. The existence of antimatter has been confirmed since 1929, following the observation of the first positron. These findings highlight the significance of antimatter in both scientific research and practical applications. Antimatter continues to be a topic of interest in physics and medicine.

Antimatter has been known to exist since 1929 when the first positron was observed in a bubble chamber.
 

Thread 'Does acceleration affect impact energy vs constant velocity?'

I do not have a good working knowledge of physics yet. I tried to piece this together but after researching this, I couldn’t figure out the correct laws of physics to combine to develop a formula to answer this question. Ex. 1 - A moving object impacts a static object at a constant velocity. Ex. 2 - A moving object impacts a static object at the same velocity but is accelerating at the moment of impact. Assuming the mass of the objects is the same and the velocity at the moment of impact...
